When replacing a motherboard, you need to update the FRU serial number information on the replacement motherboard for warranty tracking.
Note - This procedure must be performed by an Oracle service technician using the ILOM 'sunservice' account enabled in Escalation mode.
Before You Begin
You must have network access the server's service processor (SP) including the SP IP address.
You must have the correct motherboard serial number to be transferred to the replacement motherboard.
The command prompt appears.
$ ssh sunservice@SP_IP_address
Where SP_IP_address is the IP address of the server's SP.
-> frutool -t mb --read_cmm_product_area > /dev/shm/product.info
-> frutool -t mb --write_cmm_product_area < /dev/shm/product.info
-> frutool -t mb --read_cmm_product_area
If the serial number matches the correct version, the FRU has been successfully updated.
-> rm /dev/shm/product.info
-> reset /SP
A reboot enables the SP to re-read the FRUID data.
